(25,430 posts)The casting, the soundtrack, the story, the costuming - perfection all the way around.
It totally had me when Johnny Hooker was fake shot, and I was so relieved when he got up off the floor.
Our older son is a fairly accomplished piano player, and one of his favorite pieces to play is Solace from this movie.

(68,327 posts)I definitely recommend hearing the whole thing. "The Sting" director George Roy Hill described it perfectly as "haunting".
"The Sting" is also one of my favorite movies. Robert Redford and Paul Newman never lose their power to dazzle. As pointed out above, the entire cast was pitch-perfect. With Johnny Hooker's strong bond with Luther and his family, in a time of deeply-ingrained racism, you knew he was one of the good guys, bad gambler or not.
The split-second timing of the con at the Western Union office is masterful, and always incredible fun to watch.

(3,823 posts)watch "Absence of Malice". It's a movie you must pay attention to. It's a very mental movie, but the book is even better.

Perfect pairing with the flow of the movie.
I especially appreciated the paint job.
If you had put half a million on Mystic Dan to win, you would have made $9 million.
